As we get older, our nutritional needs change but the advice rarely keeps up. This talk focuses on what the evidence actually says about eating well after retirement: protein and muscle, bone health, heart health, energy, and how to enjoy food without it becoming a source of worry. Suitable for mixed ages and very much open to questions.

I am an MNU-certified, evidence-based nutritionist based in Hampshire. I gives talks that are warm, practical, and firmly grounded in the science, without the jargon, the conflicting headlines, or the sense that eating well means giving everything up.
I work with people at all stages of life, with a particular interest in nutrition in later life and midlife health, areas where good information can make a real difference, and where straightforward, honest advice is surprisingly hard to find. My talks cover everything from heart health and cholesterol to gut health, bone strength, energy, and how to cut through the noise of modern nutrition advice.
I also offers talks specifically for women navigating perimenopause and beyond, a stage I believe deserves far more attention than it gets.
Every talk is tailored to the audience, relaxed in style, and open to questions. I speak to mixed groups, women's groups, workplace teams, and community organisations.
